LAMP-TOVE.

SPECIFICATION formin part of Letters Patent No. 462,132, dated October 27, 1891.

Application filed December 2'7, 1889. Serial No. 835,168. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT A. HIoKoX, of Santa Ana, county of Orange, State of California, have invented a new and useful Im- 5' provement in Means for Self-Reflecting Heat from a Goal-Oil Lamp for WVarming Purposes; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the same.

This invention relates to new and useful ro improvements in lamp-stoves.

The object of the invention is to provide a cheap, simple, and effective device whereby the heat generated by a lamp or oil-stove may be utilized for warning purposes; and it consists in the combination, with an oil-lamp, of

a 'efiector which is so constructed as to provide a base upon Which the lamp will rest, a concave refieotor above the base, and a deflector and perforated top, all as will be herezo inafter fully set fortlnand particularlypointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, forminr part of this specification, Figure 1 is a front view of a heat-reficcting device, showing a lamp applied thereto; and Fig. 2 is a sectional view.

A refers to the base, which is provided with an upwardly-projecting` fiange a and is preferably circular. A vertical reflector B extends frorn the base upwardly and serves as a support for the top O, which is made up of two plat-es c and c', connected by a vertical wall O'. At a suitable distance above the baseAthe vertical concave reflector B is pro- 3 5 vided with a transverse partition D, which is provided with one or more perforations, as may be desired, and above said transverse partition is secured an inclined reflector E, which extends from the lower plate of the top 40 downwardly. The reflectors are preferably made of metal and highly burnished, so that they will not only serve to throw the light but also the heat. The vertical Wall C' of the top O is provided withperforationsf, through which the heat can pass.

This device is extremely simple and nay be effectively used for heating small apartments, and by the construction shown the heat is thrown out in front of the reflectors.

Having thus described my invention, I c1aim- 'o 1. As an inprovement in lamp-stoves, a reflector comprising a base, upon which a lamp or beat-ing' medium is adapted to rest,

a concavo reflector B, and a reflector E, secured to the refiector B to extend from the rear to the front edges of the same, substantially as set forth.

2. In combination with a lamp or heating medium of a base A, semicircular or concave reflector B, rigidly seoured thcreto, a top C, projecting beyond and overhanging the refiector B, and an inclined refiector E, extending from the top downwardly at an angle, the lower edge thereof abutting,` against the inner wall of the reflector B,-substantially as set forth.

3. As an inprovement in lanp-stoves, a concave reflector B, having the flanged base A o., the double top o c', provided with perforations in its vertical wall, the concave reflector E, extending from said top down to and connected with the refiector B, and a perforated shelf D, arranged adjacent to the base of the'reflector E, substantially as set forth.

Dated Santa Ana, California, December 12, 1889.
